Update Music Therapy

Whenever people cannot communicate with language alone or are difficult to access, music therapy is a tool of choice – from promoting the development of premature babies to dealing with dementia patients.
Music promotes brain plasticity, helps people relearn speech and fine motor skills after a stroke, is effective for Parkinson’s disease, against depression, regulates circulation and reduces pain.
For children with disabilities, in developmental crises, with attention deficit disorders or violent tendencies, music therapy can help prevent acute problems from becoming chronic.
An academic subject for 40 years, versatile, innovative and effective – time for an update music therapy with the latest research findings!
